Default anyone use fenders from RockAuto.com?

I see the drivers side fender for a 98-02 camaro is $265 at the dealer. no junkyards close have a drivers side fender. I would prefer OEM but what about these reproduction fenders for $43 at Rockauto.com? I find it hard to believe that for 40 bux it will fit like a stock one. Anyone use these?

I'd steer clear of aftermarket fenders and bumpers. I made the mistake of purchasing an aftermarket fender for my 95 firebird and after what seemed like endless adjustment it never did fit right, it always drug the door when the door was opened.

I'd only use an OEM one. New or used, you're going to end up painting it anyway (unless you get lucky enough to find one the same color).

You can search local junk yards on car-part.com, that's how I found mine.

After weeks of searching, a local junk yard just got one in! factory 99 z28 fender. $125 thing looks perfect. Now the car goes for paint!
